ARANA RV Awning Gas Struts 24.3" Extended (2-Pack) — 136 lb Lift Each, Direct-Fit Replacement

The ARANA 260282 RV Awning Gas Struts are a two-piece replacement set of 24.3" (center-to-center) gas springs rated at 136 lb (605 N) each, designed to lift and support camper and trailer awnings.

These two gas struts from ARANA are built as direct-fit replacements for common OEM numbers including 260282, 107316, 24934 and several C16/PM series parts. Each strut measures 24.3 inches when extended (center-to-center) and delivers 136 pounds of force, giving reliable push and hold capability for many recreational vehicle and trailer awning applications. The package contains two struts—enough for one awning arm pair—and ARANA provides customer support and installation guidance if needed.

Will these struts fit my RV awning?

Fit depends on the interchange number and the extended center-to-center length of your existing struts. Compare the OEM or interchange numbers printed on your old parts and measure the center-to-center extended length to ensure compatibility before purchase.

• Compatible OEM numbers: 260282, 107316, 24934, 3108392147, C1622528, C16-22528, PM3793
• Extended length (center-to-center): 24.3" (617 mm)
• Force per strut: 136 lb (605 N)
• Sold as a 2-strut set (both struts included)

How do these gas struts perform during setup and retraction?

Each ARANA strut provides smooth extension and consistent assist force to deploy or hold an awning. The 136 lb rating supplies dependable support for average-sized awnings while minimizing sag and unwanted collapse when extended.

• Smooth piston action for controlled extension and retraction
• Sufficient holding force to stabilize awning arms in use
• Durable construction to withstand repeated cycles

What should I check before ordering replacements?

Always confirm the interchange/OEM number and measure the extended center-to-center length of your current struts. Using the wrong length or force rating can result in improper awning operation or mounting difficulties.

• Verify OEM/interchange numbers on old struts match those listed
• Measure extended length from ball-end center to center (24.3")
• Match or closely approximate force rating (136 lb) for best performance
• Purchase two struts per awning side where required (this set includes two)

How do I install and maintain these awning gas struts?

Installation typically replaces the old strut ball-socket fittings with the new unit by removing retaining clips and snapping the new ball ends into place. Routine inspection for corrosion, worn ball joints, or loss of pressure will extend working life and ensure safe operation.

• Remove retaining clip and detach old strut from ball ends
• Compress slightly, align ball sockets and snap onto the mounting balls
• Check mounts and fasteners for wear and tighten as needed
• Inspect periodically for leaks or reduced extension force
